How will the matched funding work work, noting that the EOI requests costs in GBP, but the EuroHPC funding is in EUR. Is there a set exchange rate that DSIT will use? How will currency fluctuations be mitigated? What is the maximum total budget in GBP? (added 9 June 2025)

Answer:If the proposal is successful, EuroHPC will match fund up to 鈧�5 million over 3 years. 皇冠体育app maximum contribution that the UK government is able to provide is 拢2.5 million over 3 years.
